/**
 * Returns linear congruential deterministic pseudorandom data, e.g.
 *
 *     uint64_t x = lemur64();
 *
 * You can generate different types of numbers as follows:
 *
 *     int64_t x = lemur64() >> 1;    // make positive signed integer
 *     double x = _real1(lemur64());  // make float on [0,1]-interval
 *
 * If you want a fast pseudorandom number generator that seeds itself
 * automatically on startup and fork(), then consider _rand64. If you
 * want strong nondeterministic random data, please use arc4random().
 *
 * @return 64 bits of pseudorandom data
 * @note this is Lemire's Lehmer generator
 * @note this function takes at minimum 1 cycle
 * @note this function passes bigcrush and practrand
 * @note this function is not intended for cryptography
 * @see arc4random()
